TotalView Technologies today announced the expansion of its student program to include MemoryScape with TotalView Express, the complimentary debugger version available to full-time university students at participating institutions.  Students already enrolled in the program can download the latest version from the website; new participants will automatically receive MemoryScape with their download.

The TotalView Express student program, instituted more than a year ago, provides students at degree-granting colleges and universities with a version of TotalView for their Linux, Unix, or Mac OS X workstations and laptops until they graduate; a professor or instructor at the university acts as a contact to establish the students’ status.  The program has been enthusiastically received in the global academic world, with such institutions as Stanford, Yale, Penn State, Carnegie Mellon, McGill, Barcelona School of Informatics, RWTH Aachen, Technical University of Denmark, and the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro participating. 

With the recent release of TotalView 8.7 and MemoryScape 3.0 and the interoperability of the two products, TotalView Express and the commercially available TotalView Individual on which it is based have been enhanced to include full memory debugging capabilities.  

“In many cases, engineering and computer science courses have relied on the use of print statements, GDB and a variety of other open source tools to teach students how to analyze, troubleshoot and debug code.  TotalView Technologies is committed to enhancing the quality of programming instruction by making our industry-standard tools available to full-time students at no cost,” said Rich Collier, CEO of TotalView Technologies.  For more information about the TotalView Express student program, contact totalviewexpressSE@totalviewtech.com.
